What is your favorite breakfast? From scrambled eggs and bacon, to hash browns and pancakes, it seems everyone has his or her own favorite. Diane laney Fitzpatrick, a contributing writer for Suite101.com, says, "Mine is a toasted English muffin with cream cheese and strawberry jam (with coffee, of course!).
I happen to like the taste of pancakes. Plain pancakes are good, but every now and then, I like to incorporate either a fruit or a different flavor into the pancake. With summer quickly approaching, I'd thought I'd share a recipe for Blueberry Buttermilk Pancakes that will certainly have all of your family up and around the breakfast table on a sunny Saturday summer morning. The recipe was adapted from a blueberry buttermilk pancake served at the Glen-Ella Springs Inn located just a few miles north of Atlanta in Clarksville, Georgia. This centuries old inn is actually on the National Register of Historic Places and first opened in 1988.
RECIPE
Blueberry Buttermilk Pancakes
Serves 4
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons sugar
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 1/2 cups buttermilk
1 cup fresh blueberries
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus 1 tablespoon, for griddle
1. Place a griddle pan or a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar in a medium bowl. Add the eggs, buttermilk, blueberries, and 4 tablespoons melted butter, and stir to combine. The batter will be slightly lumpy.
2. When the griddle is hot, using a pastry brush, brush the remaining tablespoon of butter onto the griddle.
3. Pour 3 tablespoons of the batter into the skillet or griddle for each pancake, spaced about 2 inches apart, and cook for 1 minute or until the pancakes have bubbles on top and are slightly dry around the edges. Flip over and cook until golden on bottom, about 1 minute.
4. Repeat with the remaining batter. Serve the pancakes with maple syrup or whatever favorite toppings you desire.
